Han Sen used his dongxuan aura to examine Taia. Sharpness was only a secondary factor in determining whether or not a sword could cut through steel like it was mud.
There were a total of three main conditions: strength, hardness, and toughness. If the strength of the sword was about the same, it could only mean that the hardness and toughness of the sword were higher than that of the other sword.
But this Taia sword had been forged in ancient times, so there was no way it could have been stronger than Z-steel. But the facts were right in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe them.
Although it was only a two-foot-long broken sword, Han Sen used his dongxuan aura to examine it. He could see a lifeforce within it.
This surprised Han Sen. In the sanctuaries, he had seen many lifeforce weapons. They were all beast souls, so it was normal for them to have lifeforce.
But this Taia was a product of the Alliance. It was made of cold metal, so how could it possibly have a lifeforce?
"I've done my research on Tai-Ah, but as you know, there are very few written and recorded records. Most of them are legends that can't be verified. There are many legends about Tai-Ah, but one of the most popular is that it was forged from Outer Space Black Iron. The Outer Space Black Iron is actually a meteorite that fell on a planet," Liu Meng explained.
"How did this sword break?" Han Sen asked.
With such hardness and toughness, it was hard to imagine what kind of situation would cause such a sword to break.
"I'm afraid you'll have to ask the old man of the Qin family. Although the Lan Te family obtained this sword, we don't know much about it. The Qin family is very interested in this sword, so I'm sure they know something about it," Liu Meng said.
"If I beat you, it's mine?"
Han Sen was tempted. If he had enough strength, he could use a sword like that to break things. It would be even better than the red dagger.
Liu Meng pulled out a contract and said, "If you don't believe me, we can sign a contract."
"Okay."
Han Sen did not want to fight Liu Meng because there was nothing to gain from it. He was not afraid of the Lan Te family. Now that he had Taia as a stake, Han Sen wanted to give it a try.
Han Sen knew Liu Meng was a surpasser, but he did not know how strong his fitness was or how many gene locks he had opened.
According to Annie, Liu Meng had only become a surpasser two years ago. His fitness and gene lock shouldn't be too high, either. If he won, he would take the sword. If he lost, there was no harm in signing the contract.
"Come." After signing the contract, Liu Meng looked at Han Sen with excitement.
"Is it here?" Han Sen looked at the small stone pavilion.
"Is there a problem?" Liu Meng asked.
"There should be a training ground in the manor.
Let's go to the training ground. It would be bad if we accidentally destroyed the pavilion, "Han Sen said.
Liu Meng's eyes brightened, and he said, "Okay, let's go to the training ground."
When he heard Han Sen say this, he thought Han Sen really wanted to fight him. This made him very happy.
The reason Liu Meng wanted to fight Han Sen was not because he could not find someone stronger than Han Sen. There were many surpassers who had opened multiple gene locks.
But Han Sen's strength was only one of the conditions. Han Sen had beaten Yu Qielan, and that was why Liu Meng wanted to challenge him.
Liu Meng did not think beating a fellow surpasser was something to brag about. Beating a royal shura was something he was excited about.
But with his status, the Lan Te family would not allow him to fight a royal shura. So, Liu Meng wanted to beat Han Sen, who had beaten a royal shura before.
Han Sen followed Liu Meng out of the garden and towards the training ground. They ran into Annie, who was looking for him.
"Where did you guys go?" Annie asked, looking at the two of them.
"Liu Meng wants to spar with me. We are on our way to the training ground," Han Sen said. There was no need to hide this.
"You want to spar with him?" Annie looked at Han Sen with shock.
"Is there a problem?" Han Sen looked at Annie's expression and thought something was wrong.
"Liu Meng, don't mess with him. I promised Miss Ji that I would bring him home safely," Annie said to Liu Meng.
Liu Meng smiled and pulled out the contract, saying, "This is not a joke. I've already signed it."
Liu Meng paused, and then said, "Han Sen, I will wait for you at the training ground. You can talk to Annie about this."
After Liu Meng left, Annie looked at Han Sen and said, "Why did you agree to spar with him?
Didn't I tell you he was the only heir of the Lan Te family? "
Han Sen smiled and said, "It's not that serious, is it?
It's just a spar, so I won't hurt him. I'm still confident about that. "
Annie looked at him and said, "Hurt him?
Do you know what Liu Meng's nickname is? "
"How would I know? I don't even know him." Han Sen shrugged.
Annie sighed and said, "His nickname is the Son of Gods. Although he has never killed a creature himself, he has trained with many demi-gods in the Alliance. His sparring partners are all famous elites. Just because he hasn't killed a creature before doesn't mean he doesn't know how to fight.
Many demigods had said that Liu Meng was a genius. Even the demigod of the Lin family had said that Liu Meng's talent in cultivation was greater than Lin Feng's.
Old Man Ji used to teach Liu Meng, and he was full of praise for him. "
"It sounds like he is strong," Han Sen said with a smile.
Annie said, "It's not that it seems like it, it's really powerful.
When I was in the Second God's Sanctuary, Liu Meng was always with the Lan Te family when we were out hunting. They forbade him from joining the fight, but all he did was guide us and teach us what we were lacking. He was able to help us win many battles, and that was how I learned a lot from him. "
Han Sen looked at Annie and said, "Then I am not worried."
After that, he patted Annie on the shoulder and walked towards the training ground.
"What do you mean?" Annie did not understand what Han Sen meant, and when she did, she was angry.
Han Sen was clearly saying that she was not good enough, so Liu Meng, who had taught her before, was mediocre as well.
Although Annie knew he was joking, she was still angry. She hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided to follow him to the training ground.
Liu Meng was already there, waiting for Han Sen. When he saw him, he gestured for him to enter.
Han Sen looked at Annie and gave her a look of reassurance. Then, he walked to the training ground.
